mode is overcome, turn ESP back on by momentarily
depressing the “ESP OFF” button. This may be done
while the vehicle is in motion.
Full Off — 4WD Vehicles in 4WD High & 4WD Low
Range
The “Full Off” mode is intended for off-highway and
off-road use when ESP stability features could inhibit
vehicle maneuverability due to trail conditions.
The “ESP OFF” button is located in the lower switch bank
below the climate Control. To enter “Full Off” mode,
depress and hold the “ESP Off” button for 5 seconds
while the vehicle is stopped with the engine running.
After 5 seconds, the “ESP/TCS Indicator” light will
illuminate and an “ESP Off” message will appear in the
odometer. Press and release the trip odometer button
located on the instrument cluster to turn off this message.
In this mode, ESP and TCS are turned off (except for the
“limited slip” feature described in the TCS section) until
the vehicle reaches a speed of 40 mph. At speeds over 40
mph, the system automatically switches to “Partial Off”
mode, described above. When the vehicle speed returns
to less than 35 mph, the ESP system will return to “Full
Off” mode. The “ESP/TCS Indicator” light is always
illuminated when ESP is off. To turn ESP on again,
momentarily depress the “ESP Off” button. This will
restore the normal “ESP On” mode of operation.
NOTE:
• “Full Off” is the only operating mode for ESP in 4WD
low range. Therefore, ESP system will be in this mode
whenever the vehicle is started in 4WD low range or
the transfer case is shifted into 4WD low range.
• The “ESP OFF” message will display and a chime will
sound when the gear selector is moved from any
position to the “P” (Park) position and then moved out
of the “P” (Park) position. This will occur even if the
message was cleared previously.
